About This Release

Voyager Search is happy to announce the release of our latest version of Vose and updates to Voyager Server. This release includes: 

  • ArcGIS Pro Project Support 

Voyager HQ 1.11 includes improvements for indexing ArcGIS Pro projects with support for ArcGIS Pro 3.x files.The improvements include identifying all the project items such as maps, layouts and their layers.

  • Improvements to Large Office File Indexing*

This release also includes improvements to indexing of large text files. In cases where the text content is too large, we have added support to ‘sample’ the text. This is done by either reading a set number of lines (or words) of text or by skipping certain commonly used words (conjunctions and prepositions). Configurations can be made to the worker-java.vmoptions file and these changes are applied to FlexMark, Tika and LibreOffice extractors. 

Following are some examples of vmoptions file settings: 

extractor.writeLimit - sets limits for text size (default values is 16MB)

extractor.minWordLen - sets limits for word length (default word length is 0)

extractor.everyNthWord - configures storage of every Nth word (default is 1)

  • SDE Indexing Improvements

We also resolved issues when indexing  map documents containing a feature class from an SDE. In previous releases, in such cases the entire SDE was being indexed. The corrected indexing process allows admins to specify the map document, the included feature layer(s), and the layer(s) data source for optimal indexing.

  • ODN updates

New catalogs from AWS Open Data have been added to VoyagerODN and existing catalogs have been updated. Updates were made to Amazonia EO imagery catalog, ArcticDEM mosaics catalog, Reference Elevation Model of Antarctica (REMA) mosaics catalog, ESA WorldCover catalog, Maxar Open Data catalog, 

RAPID NRT Flood Maps catalog, NRCAN ArcGIS Server catalogs.
